Getting Together at The Cornerstone

On Thursday, July 24, fourteen members and guests gathered for the monthly Park Ridge Rotary Club cocktail hour at The Cornerstone Restaurant in Hillsdale.

There being no scheduled speaker, President Pat went over some of the things accomplished at the July Board meeting including new prospective members, new yellow vests for Rotarians to wear during community events, and fundraising ideas to support DGE Peter.

Additionally, all members, (but newer members in particular), were encouraged to attend the Vocational Assembly in Edison on October 7 and the Rotary Leadership Institute being held at our own Courtyard by Marriott in Park Ridge on October 11.

Stuart Gold is once again in charge of running the RLI program this year. Now in its 23rd year, the Institute serves as a training ground for upcoming leaders in the 28 districts of the northeastern part of the USA and Bermuda.

Both the Vocational Assembly and RLI provide members with an excellent chance to explore the dynamic WORLD of Rotary, to engage with Rotarians from numerous clubs around the state and region, and to learn first-hand of the many inspiring, rewarding and meaningful activities engaged in by fellow Rotarians as they work to make the world a better place.
